Recent studies have shown that attractive students get more attention and higher grades from their teachers.
Good-looking patients get more personalized care from their doctors, and handsome criminals receive lighter sentences than less attractive convicts.
So How Much Do Good Looks Matter At Work?
Here is the ugly truth, according to an economics professors at the University of Texas and Michigan State University; plain people earn 5% - 10% less than people of average looks, who in turn earn 3% - 8% less than those deemed good-looking.
Therefore, being homely can hinder your job search.
Good-looking men and women are typically judged to be more talented, kind, honest and intelligent than their less attractive counterparts.
Controlled studies show that people go out of their way to help attractive people -- of the same and opposite sex -- because they want to be liked and accepted by good-looking people.

Attractiveness is judged within the first few minutes of meeting someone. However, it is mostly subconscience so we are not aware that we are judging them on how atttractive they are.
We also know that attractiveness increases the longer we know someone. Research shows that a familiar face is always ranked as more attractive than the same face we do not recognize.
That's one reason your mom always says your beautiful!
Physical looks matter more to men than they do to women. Generally, women look at a man's height more than his facial attrativeness. Men, on the other hand, will look at a woman who is attractive in the face as well as the body.
It's a sad fact, and no matter how much people deny it, attractivess will get you further in life.
